Mike operates a service station nearby and gets to meet and talk to his wealthy customers.
Mike says, "You've got to be happy for them. You can't be mad at them because, you know, they must have done something right, or something wrong, to get where they are."
Mike also said, "These rich people have the same problems you and I have, just with a whole lot more zeros attached to them."
In all, nine Long Island communities made the magazine's list top 25 richest towns.
The others (with their overall ranks) are Roslyn Estates (6), Oyster Bay Cove (8), Old Westbury (10), Muttontown (13 - tie), Munsey Park (13 - tie), Lloyd Harbor (14), Sands Point (15), and North Hills (19).
